Taking Photos of Movement
Adjusting the exposure time and shutter speed is necessary to capture subjects in low light conditions and fast moving objects. These factors can be used to your advantage to show movement in an otherwise two dimensional static picture. Below are examples of this.
A lot of fun can be had using the flash in combination with a long exposure, enabling you to combine sharpness of an image with motion blur. You may need to experiment to get the best effect.
